IT’S AN OPEN THREAD, DISCUSS WHAT YINZ WANT.
I wondered…should we go with a football thread on the same day as the 20th anniversary of 9/11?
Yes, yes we should.and we should remember as well. We can do both.
**result for week 1 6/8 $1400/$1000***
Pittsburgh at Tennessee 12:00 PM…”Johnny Majors and the Pitt Script When Pitt and Tennessee meet on Saturday (noon ET, ESPN), they’ll honor legendary coach Johnny Majors, who coached at both schools. Former Majors assistant Jackie Sherrill, who succeeded him at Pitt, will serve as the Panthers’ honorary captain.” Well now, my Beloved Panthers versus Rain’s Vols in TN! My Panthers are a 3 point favorite on the road and will cover!
#10 Iowa at #9 Iowa State 4:30 PM…Both Teams ranked and playing for the Corn Trophy! This is gonna be a good one. Iowa State is a 4.5 point favorite, which i find hard to believe, the Hawkeyes cover.
Nothing else is piquing my interest…i might add something later.
Athough…this just might!
Kansas at #17 Coastal Carolina 7:30 PM FRIDAY…CC is a 27 point favorite??? Nah, they wont cover.
Oh god. Now I have to watch football. *sigh*.
what is this about?
Conflicting media reports from Moscow about why the US ambassador to #Russia has been summoned to the foreign ministry.
. However, a diplomatic source told TASS that the reason for Sullivan’s summons to the Foreign Ministry was US interference in the elections in Russia.

A friend and her daughter had Covid, both had a blood draws recently, same clinic. Daughter’s test showed immunity, but her mother’s results didn’t.
How can someone who had Covid not have antibodies / T-cells?
CDC has redefined the definition of “vaccine.”
The definition of herd immunity was also changed by the WHO in January to remove natural infection as a source.

Absolutely. One of the worst things that can happen to any team is when one or more of the team members engage in what is termed “malicious compliance”. This is the act of knowing and following all rules, processes, and policies that the company has in place to the last dotted “i” and crossed “t”. That kind of compliance brings program progress to a near stand-still.

US: Afghan evacuee flights halted from two key bases
The U.S. has halted all U.S.-bound flights of Afghan evacuees from two main bases overseas for unspecified “health safety concerns,” a move U.S. officials warn will have a severe impact on the evacuation operation, according to a U.S. government document seen Friday by The Associated Press.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection made the decision on the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Lewis County General Hospital will stop delivering babies after September 24 because too many maternity unit workers have resigned over COVID vaccination mandates.
That’s according to Lewis County Health System Chief Executive Officer Gerald Cayer, who held a news conference Friday in Lowville.
He said 6 employees in the maternity unit resigned rather than get a COVID shot and another 7 are undecided.
According to Cayer, the hospital will be unable to safely staff the unit and will pause delivering babies after September 24.
He said he hopes this is a temporary situation and will work with the state Department of Health to make sure the unit won’t permanently close.
“If we can pause the service and now focus on recruiting nurses who are vaccinated, we will be able to reengage in delivering babies here in Lewis County,” said Cayer.
Cayer said 165 hospital employees have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19; that’s 27 percent of the workforce.

One of the positions I applied for is in eastern Colorado, so I’d have to move, anyway. If I get that job, I only plan to stay for a year or so. I’ll probably end up living out of my RV, because there’s not much housing available in the area.

BULLSHIT
reason 2,396 for leaving Northern Virginia
Earlier this week, The Daily Wire reported that a school board member whose father was on the board of the mosque attended by 9/11 hijackers and who hired as imam a top Al-Qaeda operative, opposed a resolution honoring the victims of the attacks.
Fairfax County, Virginia, school board member Abrar Omeish lambasted her fellow Democrats for not supporting an “alternative” resolution she had proposed, which had not been made public.
.
.
Omeish lives with her father Esam, who was a director of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, and hired as its imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who former President Barack Obama later ordered to be killed by drone strike. The mosque was attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the shooter in the 2009 attack on Fort Hood, Texas.
Omeish was the Virginia co-chair of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. In June, she gave a graduation speech in which she told a mainly-immigrant class of high schoolers that they were entering a world filled with “racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, [and] white supremacy,” and encouraged them to remember their “jihad” and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality.

The U.S. drone strike that military officials said targeted a suspected ISIS-K car bomb in Kabul during the final days of the U.S. evacuation effort may have mistakenly targeted an innocent civilian, according to extensive investigations by the New York Times and Washington Post. Ten civilians, including seven children, were reportedly killed in the August 29 airstrike. All were members of the same extended family.
Following the ISIS-K suicide attack that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and nearly 200 Afghan civilians outside Kabul’s airport on August 26, U.S. officials repeatedly warned that additional terrorist attacks were anticipated at the airport. On August 29, U.S. Central Command announced that it had conducted a drone strike on a suspected terrorist driving a car that seemed to be filled with explosives and was believed to pose an imminent threat to the airport. Military officials suggested that the driver, whom they were not able to identify, had acted suspiciously in the hours before the strike, including a stop at a possible ISIS-K safe house, and loading the car with heavy packages that may have been explosives. The U.S. said that a larger secondary explosion occurred after the drone strike, which would suggest the presence of explosive cargo and seemingly justified targeting the vehicle.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/09/final-u-s-drone-strike-in-kabul-may-have-been-deadly-error.html
So, instead of killing terrorists they killed innocent civilians. Great job////
@ eaglesoars: The man is so invested in the “blame America” section of the political Left, that he — and those who share his opinion — refuse to see that the 19 hijackers were murderous, religious zealots, intent upon murder, and that’s totally different from those who were protesting the outcome of a legal election. Religious zealots who intended to murder, and start more violence, versus protesters. Big difference.
As for Bush, the guy was an establishment pol, who either refused to go far enough, or didn’t think he had the political support to be as vengeful as he should have been.
@ Guggi: They figured it out. All they had to do was avoid outright defeat, and the US- led coalition would give up and quit. All the Taliban had to do was not lose, and defeat our forces by the “Death Of A Thousand Cuts.”

Record Number of Ships at Southern California Ports
Southern California ports set new records Friday for the number of vessels in port as the pandemic-driven import boom that continues to pressure ports from coast to coast.
The Marine Exchange of Southern California on Friday reported a new record of 134 ships in port, including 74 total ships at anchor and 60 at berth. This sets a new all-time record for the number of ships in port. Among them, 86 are containerships and 55 are at anchor, both of which are also new records. Thirty-one containerships were at berth Friday.
The Marine Exchange reports that all anchorages are full and a number of ships (15 by our count) are drifting.

<A man online who goes by the name Alexader Rogers, and says he’s a truck driver, has a warning about these vaccine mandates.
He was responding to a tweet from conservative pundit Jesse Kelly.
Kelly was discussing the mandates, and what a disservice they are to this country, just as a US Army lieutenant colonel has just tendered his resignation over this vaccine mandate from Joe Biden.
He says when it hits truckers like him, and we see mass food shortages because these guys walk off the job or get fired for not taking the jab, Americans will understand what communism really is.
Here’s what Alexander said: “Wait until it hits truckers like myself and you start seeing mass food shortages. People are going to learn very quickly the cost of Communism.”

The Editors announce a new requirement for research studies published in Journal: a supplementary table that provides background information on the condition studied and on the representativeness of the study group.
Physicians often find it challenging to apply the lessons of large research studies to their clinical practice, especially when the research participants do not reflect the racial identity, ethnicity, age, or sex and gender of the physicians’ patients. Strict eligibility criteria for enrollment in a study may exclude relevant participants. The study population may not include groups representing large fractions of those who might be candidates for the trial intervention. This can leave clinicians in a quandary about whether and how to apply the research findings to their own patients, for whom the risk–benefit profile may differ.

PLA jets will eventually patrol over Taiwan: Global Times editorial
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority is determined to latch onto the US and Japan to gang up against the Chinese mainland, and has increasingly kidnapped public opinion on the island, while the US is making more and more frequently strategic manipulations over the Taiwan question. Given these facts the Chinese mainland has to take fundamental measures, engaging in a resolute struggle so that to stop the situation across the Taiwan Straits from deteriorating, deter the DPP authority and its supporters, and firmly seize the strategic initiative of the regional situation.

Srsly? Klaus Schwab has actually written a book.
COVID-19: The Great Reset
“COVID-19: The Great Reset” is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of this crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.
Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out.

much better, i has a week off.
yesterday was day one, after all of those shifts and so many different hospitals i slept from 2330 saturday to 0830 sunday, then 1000-1300, then 1600-1800 sunday, then 2100-0630 this morning. but, i’m still brain dead. during the day yesterday i made fresh tomato sauce from the garden with home made meat balls. it was frankly, killer.
so…EAGLES…i have some tomato seeds drying but i have to wait for the seeds from the basil to be ready. plant the basil amongst the tomato to help prevent pests and to make pesto, and to put on pizza, and such. the basil seeds are 20th generation from our deck and garden we just love it.
this morning was day one of me and my bro playing three days of golf, 18 holes each, walking. stroke play. we tied at 82 (usga rules followed) for 18. the next two days are gonna be rough…he has become really good!

max had his front axle beyond hamilton’s rear axle. that’s the rule for hamilton to give room, it has always been that way. FOR EVER
except now, again
yet again, everyone mus be at fault EXCEPT the black driver. i’ve watched F1 for 30 years, I’ve been to 3 F1 races!!! hamilton was wrong, no mater the gyrations of the race stewarts.
oh, and btw, hamilton was out sick last year and mercedes brought up a rookie to drive his car, the rookie was way out in front UNTIL….the damndest thing ever occurred, the pit crew put on mis-matched tires!!!!
(hards on one side and medium on the other) I have NEVER seen this happen EVER in ANY RACING, EVER! so, winning race rookie has to do a lap and go back to pits and lose the race. this pit ‘mistake’ cannot happen because he tires have to be scanned in before they are placed in the pit to be available to use. we cant have a novice winning in the best f1 car ever, it would make our token look bad.

That’s the THIRD time in as many days I’ve seen North Carolina in the news for the wrong reasons. The first was that the state Supreme Court was trying to get 2 R justices removed so they could get Dems in and ok fraudulent elections. The 2nd was some hospital where they want to inflate the Covid case numbers. And now this.

In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.
This increase was even bigger for vaccinated hospital patients, of whom 57
percent had mild or asymptomatic disease.

Fort Collins, Colorado has exactly one ICU bed for every 10,000 patients
The only hospital in my area sends all covid patients to the large city that is one hour away.
I don’t think its that hard for Google to create a live mapping of ICU bed use across the United States. They said they could track the flu.
I don’t think it’s that hard to admit and move a patient to another hospital if we can fly Afghans from Kabul to Texas. We are flying illegal immigrants all over the country.

When I worked GIS data we could rollout a dashboard in a couple of days. Just the underlying data record needed to be washed, scrubed, and filters.
If ICU beds are a concern there should be an ICU dashboard for people to review. I imagine there is one. Just not sure where to locate it.

On now with Larry Elder.
Bob Woodward has written another book, asserting that Gen. Milley usurped civilian authority – that is Trump – over the military w/Pelosi’s support.
We’ll see. The problem I have is that Woodward is a liar
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/14/politics/woodward-book-trump-nuclear/index.html
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/395593.php
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMERICA’S TOP GENERAL AND A CHINESE SPY? “Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. ‘General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.’”
So he called the ChiComs?
https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/473718/#respond
@ eaglesoars:
It would seem he is acting in Chinese interests around the world. Explains a lot. He got 13 soldiers killed because he wants China in Afghanistan.
It’s either kowtow to the Chinese or purge the US elite that aren’t serving the country.
@ eaglesoars:
Milley is mentally ill. At a Q level type called blue anon. He let himself get sucked into the hysteria of the woke. I would bet that he is intimately exposed to cooperating with the Chinese.
Trump is shrewd. Trump has a sense of humor. Trump tries to sway people with hyperbole. Humorless people who can’t understand sarcasm will fail to interpret Trump correctly. Probably most generals, most shrill congress critters, most cynical news outlets.
A very long list of Woodward’s fabrications
https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/10/bob-woodward-accuracy-issues-watergate-trump/
@ eaglesoars:
Woodward and Milley fabricate alike. Makes it worse than Watergate. Today we would just laugh Watergate off.
@JackPosobiec
BREAKING: Several Pentagon officers present in Milley’s secret meeting are willing to testify against him under oath, per WH official
From the Derd Scott decision:
For if they were so received, and entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own satiety. It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, and inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.
The Dred Scott decision is certainly one of the worst that’s ever come out of the Supreme Court. Could those lines be used as an argument against these so-called vaccine passports?
@ darkwords:
If China’s penetration of our intel svcs is as deep as people say, Milley wouldn’t have needed to call anybody

https://twitter.com/JenGriffinFNC/status/1437906063546781696
Jennifer again: I am told that Gen Milley had 2 routine calls with his Chinese counterpart and more than a dozen calls with NATO allies after Jan 6 to reassure them the US government was stable and to reassure China that the US did not plan a surprise attack, an effort to avoid misunderstanding.

An update: the level of anger at Gen. Milley on Capitol Hill is immeasurable. There is a strong belief he leaked this story himself. Veterans on Capitol Hill are discussing next actions. The agreed opinion is he must go, but that media sycophants will attempt to protect him.

Well, by ‘leak’ they must mean he gave this story to Woodward. Maybe he thought it would make him look good? His street cred is all about reading books on ‘white rage’ so why not

@ eaglesoars:
If that story is true, Milley belongs in prison.
I doubt that 1 person in 100 understands how the operational chain of command in the military actually runs, but the reality is that Milley isn’t in it. His position is advisory and policy-making, as are those of the service chiefs. They have no say when it comes to warfighting.
The operational chain of command goes from the president through the Secretary of Defense to one or more of the 4 star combatant commanders.

Hannah Wicklund is doing the opening show this evening. Looking forward to that, since I’ve never had a chance to see her before. Then she’s doing the first set on the main stage tomorrow. It’ll be good exposure for her.
@ lobo91:
Sounds gorgeous!
So, remember how Lunch Bucket Joe was going to repair all the foreign relationships that embarrassing dolt, Trump, ruined?
Yeah, no

bit of a snit……..
@ eaglesoars:
It’s nice, but very touristy. Lots of very expensive shops. The whole central part of town seems to be 19th century buildings, from back when it was a mining town.
The venue for tonight’s show is a place called the Telluride Transfer Warehouse. As the name suggests, it used to be a transfer point for goods. Too hard to post a link from my phone, but you can find it on Google.
Hannah Wicklund is doing a sound check now

Looks really nice. The surrounding landscape is awesome!

I had to enter. Not that I ever win anything but damn thats a nice gun.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
Same here
I couldn’t even lift it, wasted on me. I thought, well, I could win and sell it and then I realized – I have had enough bureaucrat crap in my life lately, nevermind. Also, ammo
Well, the very first performer of the festival (Jeremie Albino) didn’t make it. Van broke down, apparently. I hope that’s not a sign of things to come. They got a local guy to fill in with 45 minutes notice
@ eaglesoars:
Fortunately, you shoot it from a bipod. Can’t help with ammo, though. Second mortgage time
Almost Hannah Wicklund time

Good point on the ammo. Probably about a buck a round nowadays.
Looks like .50 is trending at 3 – 7 bucks a round. Ouch.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
It’s about the only caliber that hasn’t gone way up, because there’s really not that much demand for it. It’s always been around $5 a round
Hannah Wicklund is killing, BTW

Yeah, so I get to move THAT around and lift the gun onto that, blah blah blah.
I’m almost 70 yrs old. I bitch about the laundry basket.
That was a seriously great show! It reminded me of the first time I saw Samantha Fish, where almost nobody in the audience knew who she was. An hour later, they gave her a standing ovation!
@ lobo91:
glad it was great! I’m off to read, nite.
@ eaglesoars:
I’m on the gondola headed back now. Then I have an hour drive back to the campground

The NOTAM is for UAS ( Unmanned Aircraft Systems ) and the restriction is from ground level to 1000ft.
It says bugger all about helicopters.
All FOX needs to do is send the Houston car chase helicopter down there…

Besides, you can’t “fly” a drone; they’re autonomous by definition. The V-1 buzz-bomb was a drone.
They mean UAV, but that’s too hard to pronounce and it doesn’t sound all StarWarsy.

Hiya Eagles. I’m back !
Using a jury rigged system on a borrowed laptop hot from inside the Level #4 zone.
Currently I am at the beach and have been since 60 minutes before the Iron Curtain came rolling down isolating Auckland. Figured if I was going to suffer I might as well do it at the beach! Most of NZ is in Level #2 which is normal but you have to wear a mask in shops. The Poor bastards in Auckland at Level #4 totally locked down for the past month+. At least the cops are reasonable and you can talk to them without getting a baton between the eyes like the denizens in Victoria and NSW do.Thewhole East coast of OZ is one huge distopean nightmare
@ Aussie Infidel:
We were all waiting for news from the front. Glad you’re safe.

Suddenly the Australian Constitution has been exposed as deeply flawed allowing States to dictate to the Federal Government. As States control both Education and Health they have the ability to unilaterally declare a ‘Health Emergency’ and give themselves unlimited, time limits free, dictatorial powers that nullify both the States’ Laws as well as FEDERAL LAW !
The NSW Premier has just extended the abolition of State Parliament by simply extending the lockdown into November when the long summer holidays happen. Parliament now will not meet until February if ever again. The NSW , Victorian and Queensland State Police Forces have been given open ended powers. This is dictatorship. Oz and North Korea are the only two Nation States where it is impossible to leave without a government authorisation. Welcome to the Penal Colony …. again !
